Get $5 torque pro a bluetooth reader -android phone Then you can really see relevant codes and many other things . This is not worth anyone's time . .

Instrument cluster DTCs are pretty useless for diagnostic purposes except when you're working specifically on the cluster or its related functions.

And, FWIW, it's pretty likely that the ODB codes won't provide much help either in a situation like this one. Might as well check them anyway to see if there's any usable hints there but don't hold your breath.

I've viewed this forum for a long time but just joined now because you're getting some unhelpful and outright bad information here (by people who should know better!) and I wanted to give you some good, helpful info.

I'm really annoyed by this comment, especially aimed at a newcomer:
This is not worth anyone's time . .
It most certainly is worth my time.

And this comment shows a lack of understanding of how these codes work:
Instrument cluster DTCs are pretty useless for diagnostic purposes except when you're working specifically on the cluster or its related functions.
These are DTCs reported via the instrument cluster, not DTCs specifically for the instrument cluster!

Those raw, hexadecimal trouble codes shown in your dash decode into normal, human-readable code as follows:
  1. 9352 = 'B1352' --> Ford: Ignition Key In Circuit Fault
  2. 9318 = 'B1318' --> Ford: Battery Voltage Too Low
  3. A659 = 'B2659' --> ???
That last one was a mystery, but this page seems to cover it: https://www.engine-codes.com/b2659_ford.html

It seems to be "B2659 FORD - Courtesy Switch Fault".

Hope that's useful. And even though I just joined myself, I'd like to say, "Welcome!".
